OUR MISSION

  • The American Copy Editors Society is a professional organization dedicated to improving the quality of journalism and the working lives of copy editors. Our main purpose is to educate our members and others in ways to raise the standards of editing and increase the standing of copy editors. We've created a community that's made copy editors more visible and given them a more constructive role in their careers. We hope you'll join us in continuing that effort.

BOARD MEETINGS

  • The executive board holds meetings via conference call once a month and meet in person for a mid-year conference.
